I am a composer and improviser currently in the Music Composition PhD program at UC Berkeley.
My work often plays with the relationship between the musician and their instrument or, more recently, between the voice and the body. On the practical side, I am interested in using sensor technology and controller design to build new musical instruments and sound installations. I mainly work in the worlds of contemporary concert music, sound art, and free improvisation. Between 2017 and 2019, I completed MMus programs in Composition and Sonic Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London under the supervision of Roger Redgate and Freida Abtan. My work has been presented in Italy, Spain, Ecuador, the United Kingdom, and the United States. My music has been performed by InConcerto (Ecuador), Nomos Group (Spain), counter)induction, Duo Damiana, and Kayleigh Butcher, among others.
